Sanchez Sees Olbermann Exit As a Positive (for Himself)

Is former CNN host and one-man-gaffe-machine Rick Sanchez gunning for Olbermann’s old MSNBC gig? The folks at RumorFix.com snagged the exclusive with Sanchez and got to the bottom of things.
The Cuban-born newsman would not comment on whether he has been approached by MSNBC to return to the news desk, but if offered Olbermann’s job, Sanchez tells us, “It would be worth considering.”
So Rick would consider a return to MSNBC, but Olbermann‘s prime time real estate is already occupied by Lawrence O’Donnell. Perhaps Mr.O’Donnell, an avowed Socialist, would want to “share the wealth” and redistribute some of his time to Sanchez?
As a Socialist, there is little doubt that Mr. O’Donnell wants to redistribute the wealth, but we doubt that he means HIS wealth. We suggest Rick make a pitch for the 6pm slot currently being used to showcase MSNBC’s “on the job TV host training program” with Cenk Uygur.

On December 10, 1990, Sanchez was in a neighborhood in the vicinity of Joe Robbie Stadium, driving home with his father from a Dolphins football game when he struck Jeffrey Smuzinick, a pedestrian, who had just darted out of a van. Sanchez left the location at which the accident occurred, but returned later. Smuzinick was paralyzed, and five years later on November 2, 1995, died in an assisted living facility at the age of 36. [6] A blood test by police determined that Sanchez’s blood alcohol level was .15, above the legal limit of .10. Sanchez was charged with driving under the influence (DUI) and pleaded No Contest.[7] Sanchez was not charged with hitting Smuzinick.

Posted on January 26, 2011 at 5:16pmIt’s amazing how a Cuban would escape a communist country and come to a free one only to say he wants the free country to become like the one he ran away from. It’s true Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Posted on January 26, 2011 at 5:31pmIn all fairness, Rick Sanchez was a child of two years old when he and his parents emigrated to the USA, so he really wasn’t aware of the political system of Cuba. However, he might want to question his parents as to why they wanted to emigrate to USA, instead of remaining in Cuba.

Posted on January 26, 2011 at 5:12pmI’ve got to admit I can see MSNBC management adding another “shock jock” to their line-up. He’d be a perfect fit as another semi-educated,poorly researched, verbal bomb thrower. As Mike Opelka says, he’s a “gaffe machine” and I would be delighted to see him out there on the side of the progressives spouting more of their nonsense. Go for it Rick.

Posted on January 26, 2011 at 4:56pmMike, you make a true and powerful point about O’Donnell and his socialist mind-set. They are all for sharing EVERYONE ELSE’S wealth, never their own. Many of the biggest “big-mouth” Liberals who want higher taxes to pay for more and more compassionate social entitlements have IRS tax LOOPHOLES up the ya, ya. But I agree, ol’ Rick ought to go for it, get a share of O‘Donnell’s wealth. I wonder what O’Donnell is thinking right about now…….Let’s see? Oh yeah, “If Rick brings a knife, I’ll bring a GUN!”

Posted on January 26, 2011 at 4:47pmIf Fox wanted to pull a media coup and silence its critics they should hire Olberman, give him a show and give him carte-blanche to say whatever nutty left-wing crap he wants. It would be a blow to the whole meme of “Faux News” and cut the Fairness Doctrine junk off at the knees.

It’ll make them unregulated, untaxed, but still fully available to criminals. Guns will always be produced somewhere. You can not simply un-invent something. Maybe you can in his little world, but not in reality.

Posted on January 26, 2011 at 4:43pmWhy o simply Why would anyone want to work for MSNBC unless you have reached the bottom of the heap, and are trying to keep working for the desperate kids you must have. I mean MSNBC is becoming worse than Bad Comedy, even my jokes are beginning to look funny in comparison to MSNBC nonsense, and that indeed is saying something.
I cannot tell a joke to save my life, let alone make anyone laugh at them.

Then again maybe its better we keep these dolt in the spotlight we can at least keep our eyes on them. Who knows what Olbermann is up to, for all we know BHO will give him a job!
We need to keep eyes on these ppl folks keep sharing info on them the best we can via social networking. These ppl have the ability to brainwash the sheep, whether its Olbermann Sanchez or whomever.
